The young general discovered that the magic artifact given by Jiang Tang's wisp of the divine soul was incredibly powerful.
One arrow was released; the enemy did not notice. They couldn't even scream before they turned into air.
The person on fire set several others ablaze, and then the fire slowly spread, igniting the areas where some others were ambushed.
What's strange is that the burning only circled around in a ring, without spreading outside.
Actually, others watching saw the young general shoot arrows, which then inexplicably ignited with fire, and everyone was confused since that sword clearly wasn't aflame.
No one understood that the bow and arrow themselves were a magic artifact, capable of manifesting various abilities.
Turning into fire not only killed the first person within the magic artifact's power, but also set more individuals ablaze one by one, trapped within the formation.
The people within the formation couldn't see outside. They knew they were under attack by the enemy, but it seemed ghostly, and they couldn't escape.
Surrounded in a circle, they couldn't get out, saying that they were hidden in a place full of grass and trees.
That unusual fire just happened to set them all on fire.
These people were originally just ordinary human bodies, how could they withstand the fire from a magic artifact?
Amidst their screams, there were over a hundred people in this group, lurking on a hillside, staying together without dispersing.
They believed that in sudden situations, it would be easier to issue commands for everyone to hear.
With more confidence, when the eunuch led people out, they planned to use their martial strength to kill both the Great General and those brought out.
In fact, they also carried some drugs that could cause coma and poison.
These assassins already had a lot of blood on their hands and were trained by certain people who wouldn't think killing one chief commander would threaten the country.
They were bred by some people for the sake of their future grand plans.
Maliciously thinking, if they could just eliminate the chief commander, their first step would be complete.
Then, they would coordinate from within and without in this place.
Seizing the people's possessions, killing whoever arrives here.
Killing any pair who arrives.
Initially, creating some disturbances to make the people panic would make the army dispatch personnel to suppress bandits.
Tying up some people and when those people send out some, they would eliminate them.
Gradually exterminating some people within the city.
They even thought that having succeeded with the first step these past two days, the next would be to slowly eliminate some soldiers in the army.
Disguising as ordinary civilians, and again as soldiers in the army.
When the real attack begins in a month, how could they not open the city gates wide from within?
Anyway, with the chief commander gone, would they not have free reign?
Their plans were beautiful, thinking that, unfortunately, with a bit of malice, after killing many, this world would collapse.
This was originally just a small world created in the author's book, with so many vengeful spirits arising suddenly, causing the small world to collapse, leading to the young general's return to change things.
They succeeded the first time with some cunning, but it wouldn't be so easy this time.
They hadn't even succeeded with the first step before they died, the edict was already in someone's hand, and the person delivering the edict was dead.
The young general merely shot once, burning their opponents to death alive.
Actually, they were also afraid of the fire spreading, potentially burning the entire mountain.
They weren't worried about the trees burning or wasting the wood.
If this mountain burned down, it might ignite many mountains connected.
The nearby civilians also relied on the mountains for their livelihood.
Relying on the mountains for grass, wild vegetables, and collecting firewood.
Even peeling bark from the trees to survive when food was scarce.
The mountains held wild fruits, beasts, and some small animals.
Their worries didn't last long as a heavy rain suddenly began, extinguishing the burning trees in that circle and attracting the nearby people's attention with its great flames.
They all came to see what caused the forest fire.
They didn't know that just moments ago, it nearly became a hell here.
The scent of roasted meat arose when many died and bodies burned.
People followed the smell to come near.
A wisp of Jiang Tang's divine soul used the raincasting spell.
Though the sky was originally clear, suddenly within about ten miles, the rain poured down heavily in this area.
It wasn't just ordinary rain, extinguishing the raging flames.
Jiang Tang's divine soul also removed the formation so that others wouldn't notice the bizarre changes there.
When some discovered the torrential rain, they no longer cared if there was a forest fire, rejoicing with cheers.
It had been a drought recently, and no rain had fallen.
Some had tried various means, even offerings, hoping for the deity to grant rain.
Because of the drought, it was easy for grass and trees on the mountain to catch fire, previously only being able to watch without being able to extinguish it with water.
Water was already hard to obtain, how could they extinguish fire with it?
The borderlands originally were extremely cold and desolate.
Growing food here was very difficult, employing methods to plant drought-tolerant coarse grains.
